English “evil speakings” emboldened in 1 Peter 2:1 was translated from Greek feminine noun 2636 katalalia from a compound of Greek preposition 2596 kata and Greek verb 2980 laleo respectively. Greek preposition 2596 kata technically means down in the genitive case, as grammatical objects are down from their grammatical subject. Greek preposition 2596 kata was 107 times mistranslated into “according to” because the flesh thoughts and feelings of flesh grammatical objects are according to the flesh thoughts and feelings of their flesh grammatical subjects while the spiritual thoughts and ways of “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” are according to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. Greek verb 2980 laleo are most often the flesh thoughts and feelings spoken by flesh grammatical subjects teaching Sunday school classes and or standing behind pulpits. Incidentally, “pulpit” in Nehemiah 8:4 was translated from Hebrew masculine noun H4026 migdal that was translated into the “tower” of Babel in Genesis 11:1-9 whereby God has warned us from the beginning about flesh human beings displacing God as our spiritual grammatical subject.
